6061 Aluminum Coil Characteristics

In terms of mechanical properties, 6061 aluminum coils exhibit high tensile strength, typically in the range of 276-310 MPa (40,000-45,000 psi). Its yield strength is typically around 240 MPa (35,000 psi), and its elongation is usually in the range of 8-12%, allowing some deformation before failure.

The main chemical composition of 6061 aluminum coil includes 95.8% aluminum, and a small amount of magnesium (1.0-1.2%), silicon (0.4-0.8%) and copper (0.15-0.4%), which proves the corrosion resistance of 6061 aluminum coil , because the aluminum coil itself is flexible and ductile, it can also be easily shaped and formed into various structures. Compared to 5052, which is known for its marine-grade corrosion resistance, 6061 is stronger, more versatile, and more popular.

In terms of physical properties, the density of 6061 aluminum coil is about 2.7 g/cm3, which is relatively low compared with many other metals. It has a melting point of approximately 585 °C (1085 °F) and is easily processed by various manufacturing methods including casting, extrusion and rolling. In addition, 6061 aluminum coil also has thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity, which can dissipate heat efficiently.
